Pilot training scheme success

Thirty members of Turners’ team from across its network have passed the company’s learning and development programme with “flying colours”.

The employees took part in two courses at different levels, which were held over 14 weeks.

Turners has been building a strong programme of internal training over the past few years as it looks to support its employees to learn and grow.  

It has now taken this one step further with its pilot programme, which included external courses in business fundamentals and leadership.  

“I’ve been impressed by what I have seen from the programme, particularly how well our team did and the commitment showed throughout,” says Greg Hedgepeth, chief executive officer of Turners’ automotive retail division.

The 30 participants were flown from around the country to three graduation ceremonies in Auckland last month.
